Your position, MK, reminds me of what another theist in the past has argued: that atheists aren't really rejecting God if they lack sufficient knowledge to do so, therefore are not condemned to hell but go to heaven regardless (if they behave in ways that are deemed good in God's eyes, of course). To that, all I can say is that I knowingly reject the existence of the Abrahamic god. I've read what he's like in the Bible and I've read what he's like in the Qur'an, and taking into consideration the history knowledge I've personally attained and the psychological/societal/evolutionary factors that play a huge role in shaping theistic beliefs in various ways, it's clear to me that it's man-made. But even if by some weird fucking bizarre magic your god did exist, I would still disown him anyway because I don't like its character. And even if the scriptures turned out they did not do his character any justice at all, I would still reject it anyway ... because of the actual world it has given us instead of a far better world with far less suffering and far less cruelty.
If, after saying all this, I'm still not counted by you as a disbeliever, then you are desperate.
